Nice pic.  But xedit[0] isn't needed for most of us.  In addtion xedit
isn't "the console" because as it's name implies it is an X app.  

A console app would be like slrn (a newsgroup reader), emacs, pico, vi
or if you happen to be on a dos system "edit".

Most of us who read this group use fixed fonts in our news reader so
that part isn't a consern and if you use a proportional font in x then
xedit will have a proportional font as well.  This can bee seen via
xfontsel (fmly clearlyu).

Hi Faux. Yes, you are right, it's "console _or_ xedit". For some reason when
I cut-pasted the picture in Mozilla, it made it a little wider (you know how
important the proportions in a portrait).
I draw it in vim.

An idea you might like:
#!/bin/sh

printf "\033[31m                        _      \033[0m\n"
printf "\033[31m                        \\\`\\ \033[0m\n"
printf "\033[31m             /./././.   | |    \033[0m\n"
printf "\033[31m           /        \`/. | |   \033[0m\n"
printf "\033[31m          /     __    \`/\'/\' \033[0m\n"
printf "\033[31m       /\\__/\\ /\\'  \`\    / \033[0m\n"
printf "\033[31m      |  oo  |      \`.,.|     \033[0m\n"
printf "\033[31m       \\\vvvv/        ||||    \033[0m\n"
printf "\033[31m         ||||        ||||      \033[0m\n"
printf "\033[31m         ||||        ||||      \033[0m\n"
printf "\033[31m         \`'\`'        \`'\`'  \033[0m\n"

I prefer to be more efficiant in my coding:

#!/bin/sh
echo -e "\033[31m                        _
                        \\\`\\
             /./././.   | |
           /        \`/. | |
          /     __    \`/\'/\'
       /\\__/\\ /\\'  \`\    /
      |  oo  |      \`.,.|
       \\\vvvv/        ||||
         ||||        ||||
         ||||        ||||
         \`'\`'        \`'\`'  \033[0m"

349 bytes vs your 648 and only requires one command (echo like printf
is a bash built in if you are using /bin/sh --> /bin/bash) and the
command only runs once so the code looks cleaner and runs cleaner.

For example here is the "time" on my script:
real    0m0.007s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

Here is yours:
real    0m0.009s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.010s

Thanks. I was trying to remember the echo -e way for ages. (I used 
to colour my boot scripts that way).
